"Arizona State University's IHG code (ASU) is an academic institutional code. University codes at IHG properties are used primarily for conference and academic travel. No FlyerTalk thread discusses ASU IHG verification incidents. Academic/education sector codes at IHG are the lowest-enforcement category — holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza near Phoenix (where ASU's main campus is located) are familiar with ASU travelers and rarely request ID."

"University of Texas' IHG code (99502056) is an academic institutional code. IHG enforcement: Holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza near UT Austin essentially never verifies academic rates. InterContinental Austin (if applicable) might theoretically ask, but university codes are the lowest-enforcement category across all IHG properties. No UT+IHG verification incident documented in public forums."

"Kraft's IHG code (105406) is a food and beverage corporate code. Kraft Heinz (as it's now known) HQ is in Chicago IL and Pittsburgh PA. IHG enforcement: Holiday Inn Express essentially never checks food company codes; Crowne Plaza occasionally. No Kraft+IHG specific verification incident documented. Consumer packaged goods codes at IHG follow the same pattern as McDonald's and Coca-Cola: low scrutiny due to ambiguous franchise/supplier affiliation."
